I took my daughter to Raleigh today and we went to the spice shop and two tea shops and….get this….I didn’t buy ANY tea. Don’t clap. I am ashamed because one order came yesterday and three more boxes are on the way so I really couldn’t justify buying any tea. I did, however, buy a Zoku ice pop maker because Tin Roof Teas had a recipe for green tea and fruit Popsicles in their newsletter! :)

I got this at Teavana. I have had it several times there. This is a blooming tea, and as far as I know they do not sweeten this one, though they do sweeten their other samples. The last time I had it, the salesgirl apologized and told me that it was a white blooming tea and really more for looking at than drinking as it had very little flavor. I disagree! It is mild, but far from lacking flavor and interest.

The peach is very fresh tasting and rather subdued, not “in your face”. Today, the salesperson who helped me (hey, I didn’t get pestered this time!) told me there is a strawberry version that she likes even more. I bet I would like that one best, too!

Bio

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about five years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
